Speaker 2 (00:40):
Stop acting small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
What everybody? What's cragging? And welcome back to the Petros
and Money Show in the world of great sports talk.
Welcome back from Wednesday. We did not do a show
yesterday because Rogan and Rodney did what I believe to
(01:03):
be a very successful event at the BJ's Restaurant in
brew House at the Market for Place in Irvine. And
we'll let you know when we're going to get out
to BJ's because that is a fall extravaganza that The
Petrosen Money Show is involved in Matt money Smith is
alive and well, and we will do Proof of Life
(01:27):
live from Brazil before the Chargers and the Chiefs kickoff
at five o'clock on KFI AM six forty. That's Daniel Jeremiah,
Matt money Smith, and Shannon Farren on that call, so
we will talk to Matt. The other big bit of
news that we'll get to in a moment is that
Tyler Glassnow has been scratched from his start tonight and
(01:49):
Shoeo Tani is going to pitch. Probably pretty exciting for
the people in Baltimore. That's why we're on so early
on this Flex Alert. We're gonna be on for two hours,
and we did do a before the show podcast two
(02:10):
of that's right down. There'll be two of those. But first,
you know, as the Dodgers have lost three straight, feels
like five, feels like ten, feels like a thousand. To
get swept by the Buccos and the Orioles just played
the San Diego Padres tough out there in Baltimore. I
think we have to remain hopeful.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I hope music at noon, Hopeful music at noon.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I know you're a man with a busy schedule, Dawn,
I not this time of year. I don't know if
you notice the Dodgers struggling last night, but.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I've noticed some struggling the last three nights against one
of the worst teams in the.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
League, Blake Snell's most disappointing start since he returned from
the IL shut down by Paul Schemes, anemic consado bats
very hard to be hopeful in a time like this.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Again, I know they've had injuries. I know there's been
guys in and out of the lineups, guys still out
of the lineup. But you just wonder when watching this
team because before the season started everybody thought they were
going one to sixty two and oh based on who
they added. I remember, yeah, right, And so now you
just you start, at least me, I start to wonder,
is there a little bit of complacency having won the
(03:31):
championship last year, or is it we'll just turn it
on when the playoffs come, because that's a dangerous game
to play.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It is a very interesting concept that perhaps maybe this
team has lost its grit with a couple of pitchers
tapping out on this road trip. Otani first and now
he's back, and then Tyler Glass now tapping out no
reason given tonight, but we will talk to David Vasse
this very hour and discuss it. We'll also have a
(04:01):
college football whip around. I wasn't on last week for
Week one, which I'm sorry about. I was in East
Lansing calling a football game and we weren't gonna be
able to do both. So this is the first whip
of the year. It is nice. It is the very
first college football win here of the right, very exciting.
And then we will have the word on the street
(04:23):
is Matt money Smith. I don't know if Tim, do
you have details on this Matt. Matt has been in
contact with you from a burner phone or from a
favella or something like that. But Matt money Smith is
apparently going to be joining us in hour two of
this two hour show.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I have text with Matt. I don't know if it's
a burner phone or not. It could be, but he
is scheduled to talk to you guys next hour.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
He gave me the old that.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I don't know if I can call you, brother, you
may have to call me, so we'll see.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Is it an encrypted phone, Tim, it's.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Still his phone, but I guess sometimes it's not going
through sometimes it is going through Texas.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Time difference in Brazil four hours. Wait, what time's the
game kicking.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Tonight at nine o'clock local time? Is yeah, So we're
all over that. And if you want to listen to
that instead of listening to the Dodgers lose, you're welcome
to do it. On AM six forty KFI, It's a
Frogman Friday. You are not a drop of the ocean
(05:30):
prog you are the entire ocean progaman drop frog Man
on a Frogman Friday. The That's Money Show celebrates the
Pacific Ocean and I guess the Atlantic that Matt's served.
Those waves so fun the waves there is so much fun,
bed gorgeous. I don't want to come home. We also
(05:54):
celebrate lifeguards, coast guards, people that protect us from the
anger of the sea. Chief was cautious. And we celebrate
the one and only Mike Nelson, a character played by
the great Lloyd Bridges, one of the greatest television shows
ever produced right off the coast of ranch of Palas Verdes, California.
I'm talking about Mike Nelson in SEAHARNT.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Sharks are good for one thing, an argument. Some people
say that they won't attack you unless you attack them
or interrupt them at feeding time. How they say a
shark w charge the minute he sees you that you're
what he wants to feed on.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I'm somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
I'm a scuba diver, Mike Nelson, and I've run into
my share of sharks. They haven't attacked me yet, but
there's always the first time, and today out here in
the warm Pacific might be it. I was looking for sharks.
One shark anyway from marine land at the Pacific.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, Todd Lights thirteen to five. What are you nuts?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
We still got to take that? Lord man, you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Know what that's like. These You got the Navy everywhere,
you got frog men, you got the e C two's
with the satellite tracking, you got the spell two, nine
of salt choppers up the ass. We're losing one out
of every nine loads.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That's no duck walk anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Let me tell you, forget about money.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
What do you suggest that's reasonable?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Diet a room.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Dire.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I've lost three. It's a horrible, horrible lie, very very
imprison you not want to get in September.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Come Relacense City.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
How far back in the wildcard are they.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
They're up in the wildcard, they're up in the division,
but they're gonna have to play in the wildcard round
and it looks like they're not going to be able
to avoid that. To introduce our guest co host today
on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity Microphone is the
one and only. Well, I guess I'm the one the
(08:47):
introduce you.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
You are the one and only.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It is the great Don McLean the Baron of Box Canyon,
the leading scorer in the history of UCLA and decorated,
a decade long NBA player, A man that can hold
it down whether he's working for c AA, the Big
(09:15):
ten network, FS one. The next as he kisses will
be the first we've done it before the show podcast,
And here he is, Don McLain.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
A couple things straight out of the gate pee. I
think Tim thinks I have some slight elbow ten tonight
is he grabbed the thing that hits the gong. It
didn't even say anything, oh really, just came in, took
it and hit the gong.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
To bother you do, I believe the official bother that
is the gong bonger. I think I think Don likes
to hit the gong. I like to hit the gong.
I'm not here every day, so when I'm here, I
like to hit the gong. Second thing is I was
thinking about words I don't use, and we've been kind
of teasing mad about what he said on that video
and gorgeo being a word I don't ever. I don't
think I've ever used it seriously in my life. And
(10:04):
I wanted to ask you, this doesn't really pertain to you,
Tim because you have girls, but Pe, you have a boy.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Ronnie. So one of my kids kept saying this word,
and who am I? This is just me right, But
he kept using the word comfy, Oh, comfy. Yeah, And
I know these young kids have all this lingo and
there's reasons for it, but comfy's different. That's just a
word he started using. And finally after I don't know how,
(10:30):
I don't know how much time had gone by, but
finally one day I'm like, enough with the comfy. It's
either comfortable or use a different word.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Can you use it in context like your son did.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
These shoes are comfy. Don't use it comfy.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Why was it because of a girlfriend, no.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Just he that that was part of his vernacular. He
just kept using comfy. Oh, this blanket's comfy.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
This is I don't like it when men use yummy,
that too exactly. That that one kind of bugs me. Yeah, no,
I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah, comfy, come on, let's go.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Gorgeous. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I don't use that word.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I'm not sure if I've used it. I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
You never called your wife gorgeous. You look gorgeous. You
look pretty, okay, lovely, lovely? Not you, Oh you're gorgeous.
My wife would probably smacked me if I what have
you followed it up with all those shoes look comfy?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, before we get into what we want to ask
don about here and before the college whip, and before
we talk to Dave and we got a lot to
fit in here today and we did it before the
show podcast. Everybody's lucky. But I do want to know
why is glass now scratched? Kates? You work on Morongo Casino,
Dodgers on Deck of course, and why is a Tony
(11:43):
pitching today? Do we have any more insight into that?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Before we talk to Guess, before you say tim, okay, right,
elbow tightness. Well, thank goodness that it's not the reason.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I don't know if Tyler's.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
A death sentence.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Not tightness, I mean not.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
As far as I understand, this could be Tyler being
a little under the weather because there's a flu going
around the Dodger clubhouse. Otani was gonna pitch on Monday,
this coming Monday at Dodger Stadium after he was supposed
to pitch Wednesday in Pittsburgh. So maybe they asked Otwanni
to pitch today because Tyler could not go. That's that's
(12:22):
what I think at this point. Dave's gonna be all
with you guys later in the hour. He's talking to
people right now and getting the latest so he will
have better information.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So Otani's rescuing the Dodgers here. That's how I look
as opposed to like being like, hey, I'm like Dirk Diggler,
like it's my big member and I want to go
right now, right like you know what I mean. It's
not like that.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Yeah, it sounds like he is coming into save the
day so to speak.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Right, which is really commendable because he was not able
to save the day the other day. And she and
had to wear it on his boobs.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Yeah, but he has been producing offensively. Show Hey, Otani
hit off ball that was one hundred and twenty miles
an hour of the bad. He's the only guy in
Pittsburgh that really did anything over those three days offensively
to help this team. So I know he's been under
the weather. So he did do his part at the
plate the last three days in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
So we will have more details as the day develops
as to what happened.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Dave's doing his job. Yeah, yeah, he better better do
his job.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It's my arm, and I want to go right now
with them, Tommy, it's my big arm, all right, don
Before we go any further, did you watch the We
talked about this because the story broke two days ago,
and now Steve Bomber in a very almost sho hao
tany like FBI investigation. Nothing to see here, everything's cool.
We did an investigation. It's all wrapped up. It's all epay,
(13:45):
nothing to see here. We're moving on. Not that this
is that similar, but that quick of a reaction from
Steve Balmer running over to espen and Ramona Shelburne to.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Me, doesn't that make it look like there's something there
that that's that was my first thought. And Steve Balmer's
been great for the Clippers, he's been great for the
city La all that. But to me, if I knew
I did nothing wrong, I would have just said, we
did nothing wrong. The NBA will investigate, and nothing's happening here.
But you make yourself look kind of guilty by running
(14:18):
over emergency press conference with Shelburne to explain yourself. Like,
to me, that was a mistake. And I'm no pr guy,
far from it, But I just feel like if there
was nothing there, they would have said, hey, there's nothing there,
let's let the NBA investigate and we'll be nothing to
see and it it'll be not like.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's easy to get Steve Balmer to do it anything.
It's like that he wrote, it's a doth protest too
much Shakespearean type of thing. Well, here's Ramona just asking
him straight up if Kawhi Leonard and his uncle, who
is quite infamous, have asked for extra money.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
Since twenty nineteen, has Dennis Robinson asked you for any
other benefits that would not be that would be in
violation of the league rules.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
They know the rules. They meaning Kawhi and his representatives,
including his uncle. We know the rules, and if anything's
not clear, we remind ourselves what the rules are, and
we make absolutely clear we're going to abide by those rules.
And they understand them as well, and it's important for
them to abide by them, which they have.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
It's almost like he's putting it back on them.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I can't, okay, but if they broke the rules, you
broke the rules.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
When he's asked about court documents and getting millions paid
to Kawhi, and I think this is the most This
is the SoundBite that's going around. Apparently the richest owner
in all the sports was defrauded. He was made a
fool of.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I don't know anything about the court documents on this,
don't I haven't seen him, and I don't know. I'm
not trying to be who. I don't know. I really
don't know. But the speculation is what it is, and
why did they do that.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
It's a lot of money, I mean, twenty eight million,
seven million a years, A lot of money for a
guy that you didn't actually require to do anything.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
I don't know why they did what they did, and
I don't know how different it is. I really, I
really don't. And frankly, any speculation would be crazy. These
are guys who committed fraud. How would I be able?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Look, they conned me. Care one called me.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
I made an investment in these guys, thinking it was
on the up and up, and they conned me.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
At this stage, I have no.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Ability to predict why they might have done anything they did.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Okay, you may have not seen the court documents, but
your lawyers have. There's no way you have it. Like
ten minutes after the story broke, somebody was looking at
the court document.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Had to have been what's he saying? He's saying I
have nothing to do with this. I mean, Kawhi's name
is on there. What's he What's what's the what's the
end game? I mean, I realize that ESPN interviewing an
NBA owner is a lot like ESPN interviewing the SEC commissioner,
or Fox interviewing the Big Ten commissioner, or ESPN talking
(17:13):
about what the playoff committee might do when they really
are one of the same entity. I get that part
of it, but it's not like Ramona wasn't following up there.
I just I don't I'm not smart enough to understand
what's he saying. I mean, he's saying, I'm.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Saying that this company acted on its own and gave
Kawhi this endorsement deal and he had nothing to do
with it. But yet he invested in the company. So
that's the correlation.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Do you think anybody's gonna buy that?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I don't know enough about it to really say, but
I just know what I've read and heard, and he's
trying to paint the picture that he invested in the company,
not knowing what they were going to do with his
money that he invested. They gave Kawhi an endorsement deal
that was four ten times the collective amount of all
the other endorsers, but yet they defrauded Steve Balmer somehow.
(18:08):
So I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So, Yeah, that doesn't seem like it would be a
really great idea for him to go run into an interview.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I don't think so either. I think he should just said,
let the NBA investigate it. We did nothing wrong, stop
asking me questions.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Very very interesting situation, unfolding and kind of sad and
humiliating for everybody involved. Even if what Balmber is saying is.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
True because again Pee and again, look, he has been finned.
The minute he took over the Clippers was the minute
they became relevant.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
The minute is a blueprint for NBA ownership as far
as the arena and all that goes, all.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
That, and so it would be unfortunate. And I don't know.
We've talked about this on Wednesday. I don't know what
a penalty was if if and it's a big if,
if they're found guilty of this or whatever it is,
I'm not sure. And people have asked me, what do
you think the penalty is going to be. I have
no idea because they don't have a lot of draft picks.
You could take those, but they don't really have any
(19:08):
unless you go way out in the horizon. But what
do you do? Do you suspend Balmer as the owner?
Do you suspend Kawhi?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
I don't know what you do in this situation if
they're found guilty of this stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It is a miraculously odd twist to what has always
been an up and down Clipper franchise and a franchise
that carries a lot of stigma.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
And the bummer is p and I said this on
Wednesday as well, this of all years, because they are
positioned to be one of the contenders in the NBA
and so to have this hanging over them, We'll see
for how long does it affect their season and does
if they are found guilty of anything, how does it
impact their season too.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I think it's really interesting the way you put it.
So apparently Steve Bamer gave these guys a whole bunch
of money to invest because they were planting trees or whatever.
They separately gave Kawhi Leonard a buttload of money, more
money than they gave anybody else.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Big names by the way, DiCaprio, Cindy Crawford, like, those
names are way bigger than Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
And then they've been federally called out, They've filed for bankruptcy,
and they are being indicted for fraud. And that's why
this all came out. And we're supposed to believe that
there's no connection between Bomber's money and Kawhi's money and
this company. Yes, okay, I mean he would be pretty
(20:39):
stupid to allow a shell company to file for bankruptcy, right,
you would think.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Yes, Tim Basketball, out of all the equation here business only.
This kind of makes him look like a bad business guy, right,
I mean, fifty million dollars you didn't really know what
you were doing with You thought you were gonna give
it to this company and they were going to do
something and you had defrauded out of it. It's not
a great look for a guy who's supposed to be
the wealthiest man in the world.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah. I don't know if the interview is going to
make it go away.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well. We'll be right back with a college football whip
around first one of the year, and then David Massey
with the information about glass Now and Otani and just
what the heck is going on with the Dodgers. Stay
with us on a frog Man Friday.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with

Speaker 4 (21:45):

like the comfy thing. You know what I'm saying, don
(22:11):

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
No, no, it's okay. That's how That's how my life
usually is. It's a Pictures in Money show on ampire
seventy l A Sports. We are your home of the Dodgers.
Dodgers taking on Baltimore. Ohtani's getta pitch for glass now?
Glass now is not? I don't know. We're gonna talk
to David Vasse about it. Is there any all the
(22:37):
are any of the people out there saying what it is? Yet? Nothing?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Nothing yet? But Dave will know, he'll know next segment,
he will know Chargers versus Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Tonight. Matt's in Brazil. We should be able to talk
to Kashasa Matt in the five of the games at five.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
He's not on Mars. He's just in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I mean, well, yeah, but it feels I mean it
feels pretty Have you ever been to Brazil down?
Speaker 9 (23:02):
I have not?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You sure?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I am sure, I'd like to go. I don't well
maybe I don't. I don't exactly. It's a long flight
down it is. Yeah, it's like twelve and a half hours.
What south hoowlo, Brazil?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Why are you so shocked?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I didn't realize it was that far. I just discovered
this three days ago.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
You guys don't know how the globe works.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Oh, so you knew it was twelve hours. I knew
it was far as hell. Yes, Okay, I guess we're idiots. Done.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
We just you know, well, you got to go south
and then further east than than New York.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, but Blake flew to Thailand. It was fourteen hours.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, because we're already here on the West coast. Time
of the college football went. What an exciting first full
week of college football. Agree to disagree about the football,
No about the flight copy the three biggest storyline. We're
all bottomed out by week one. Arch Manning did not
(24:04):
live up to all the hype and perform. He performed
better in the TV commercials than he did against Ohio State.
The new quarterback for UCLA, nico Ia Malayama, transferred in
from Tennessee Leiden AG against Utah. He'll need better support
from his head coach to Sean Foster moving forward and
from the university as a whole and the third college
(24:27):
football storyline of week one was Bill Belichick doing a
face plant in his first game at North Carolina. But well,
all right, but there was no positives. No, that's what
I'm saying. Despite those three stinkers, it was great to
have a full slate of games to enjoy. My only
regret was because I was traveling with a Michigan State
(24:47):
game and Red Eyes and all that, I missed two
radio shows and we did not do a college football
whip around for sure. But the whip is back for
REO and we'll be picking six or seven games each Friday.
We always try to he praise on the winners and
shred the losers. So without further ado, it is the
twenty twenty five College Football Web Flaw San Jose oh
(25:11):
and one at Texas OH and one nine ABC Long
Horns favored by thirty six and a half. Get ready
for Horns coach Steve Sarkisian out of West Torrans to
make sure Arch Manning gets his stats up in this game.
Arch's underwhelming performance in Columbus is as much on sark
(25:31):
as it was on Arch. He's the one that's supposed
to be an offensive genius. The most perplexing part of
Arch's poor performance last week that he's not a true freshman.
He's a thirty year player who's got two starts under
his belt. Plus he's been through three spring balls and
three fall camps with the same head coach. Now, San
Jose lost its opener in heartbreaking fashion, sixteen to fourteen
(25:55):
to Central Michigan, a crushing defeat for the Spartans, who
missed two winning field goal attempts in the final three minutes.
Coach Ken Neo Mattalulo is in season two in the
Hoe and unfortunately he's going to start zero and two.
I'm picking Texas fifty eight to seven, cover the thirty
six and a half, hook him black black Iowa one
(26:20):
to er at Iowa State number sixteen two and zero
nine Am. This is Big Noon SI Clones are favored
by three and a half. It's the seventy second sy Hawk.
This game will be played in Ames and the Clones
have a great shot in the Big twelve this season.
Most Petros and Money Show listeners know how much I
(26:42):
like and respect the Clones. Head coach Matt Campbell. I
can't believe he's been there ten years at Iowa State.
I also can't believe a bigger school like sc or
UCLA hasn't swooped him up yet. The Iowa offense will
be ground and pound again. That won't change until kirk
Parents eventually leaves. I love the Iowa State quarterback rock
(27:04):
O becked, I'm not going to pick this one against
the spread with all the running by both teams. My
pick is in this game that it will end in
three hours and fifteen minutes or less. What they got
to get all their commercials in Oklahoma State one to
(27:24):
oh at number six Oregon one and OH twelve thirty CBS,
Ducks favored by twenty eight and a half. Remember we
were talking about the beefing back and forth between the coaches,
Gundhy and Landing. Yeah, Gundy claim organ spent forty million
dollars on its roster and the Ducks should schedule non
conference games against similarly budgeted programs. Landing did not deny it.
(27:45):
He said he was fortunate to be at a school
that spends to win. I don't think this is typical
Gundy sandbagging. I think he's being serious. So I'm going
to go big here with Oregon. I got the Ducks
minus twenty eight and a half half points in aust.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Yeah, Landing's good with that bulletin board stuff too. It
feels like it is.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
And you know, even Jedfish said that last year. I mean,
Washington and Oregon are the two biggest rivals of each other.
And I know the Apple Cup in the Civil War.
But you know the truths like I do. And Jed
Fish said that last year, like, oh, well, there's a
twenty million dollars football team. It's like, dude, that's your rival.
You can't say that seriously, play the game. Everybody knows
(28:30):
who has money and who does it. I got the
Ducks minus the twenty eight and a half. If I
didn't say that, flow both these teams got money done.
Number fifteen Michigan. Want to know at number eighteen Oklahoma
one and oh oh yeah, Sooner's favored by four and
a half. We've got great quarterback storylines in this game,
(28:52):
Michigan freshman Bryce underw This is the Tim Kates Compass
Media Game.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Two halftime is going to be awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Oh come on. Bryce Underwood is a Detroit kid who
was committed to LSU before ten million dollar nil package
kept him in state. He already has an NFL body
six four two twenty five, gets a lot of comparisons
in game to Cam Newton. You can see him in
person at the Coliseum on October eleventh when Big Blue
(29:21):
comes to LA. In the opener versus New Mexico, Underwood
hit twenty one of thirty one passes for two hundred
and fifty yards. He did not flash his legs against
the Lobos. Underwood running is probably something we can expect
to Norman tomorrow, and it appears that the Sooners might
(29:42):
be back on track in the offseason. Oklahoma head coach
Brent Vennables poached offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle from Washington State,
and Arbuckle brought his quarterback John Matteer the Engineer with him.
I've specifically asked Tim Kates to call John Matteer the
Engineer on the pre half.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Ye is that your nickname form? Or do they really
call him that?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's I've used it, I've heard it called from some
other people. I did not make it up, and Kate's
is being very reluctant to use it in a bod
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Awesome, I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Mattier has a real physical presence. Plus he wears that
little engineering hat. He's a pure dual threat dude who
breaks tackles and he'll deliver the contact of the defender
sometimes kind of ill advised. Last week's opener against Illinois State,
he threw for three hundred and ninety seven yards against
the Redbirds three touchdowns, ran for a touchdown. The Michigan
(30:39):
d will present a stiffer challenge from a teer. This
one's at the Palace on the Prairie. Get all those
covered wagons in a circle. I see a big win
for the Sooners, twenty seven to twenty each your venables.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Wow, I've been to that stadium.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I've called a couple of games there. It's pretty cool,
right yep, Louisiana monroh want to oh Alabama? Oh one
to one, four to forty five sec network?
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Oh god No.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Last week's thirty one seventeen loss at Florida State was
a stunner for everyone in every corner of the Alabama
football sphere. The players, the students, the fans, the media.
They're all on tilt half the barns across the state.
We're hosting emergency podcasts less than thirty minutes after the game.
Kaylin de Bor is on the hottest seat in sports
(31:30):
right now. Last year's nine to four record was unacceptable.
Getting run out of Tallahassee by a team coming off
of two and ten season win or lose week to week.
The pressure is on him, doesn't mean he's a bad coach.
Damn near impossible to take over for Nick Saban.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Want to know how I know he's on the hottest
of hot seats. One of my good friends is a big,
big booster of the football program. He's not even going
to the games this year.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh wow, there's a weird twist. Versus Monroe. Back in seven,
was navigating his first year in Alabama. They were eight
and two, and before the Iron Bowl finale against Auburn,
there was a mid November cupcake on the schedule, the
Louisiana Monroe Warhawks, and they handed Alabama and embarrassing twenty
one to fourteen loss at home. No one saw that coming.
(32:19):
Saban was able to get value over the next fifteen
years by using that loss to keep his future teams
in check and keep him motivated. Now, for Debor's sake,
Alabama needs to win this game going away. We'll take
the Tide to easily cover the thirty six and a half.
And for Kaylin de Boris some advice, maybe let one
of the team managers start your car before you leave
(32:39):
the office. I thought, all right. Locally, Georgia Southern zh
to one. I saw their game against Presno at Southern
CAL four thirty FS one. Someone needs to tell Lincoln
Riley and the Trojans that the team they beat from
Missouri last week was not the Kansas City Chiefs. Wasn't
(33:02):
even the Missouri Tigers from the SEC. Last week's opponent
was the Missouri State Bears, not the Chicago Bears. The
USC was quick this week to point out how well
their stats lined up with other teams. I thought it
was a bad look. How big of a victory lap
will USC take this week if they beat Georgia Southern
(33:25):
not Georgia By the way, Georgia Southern soft scheduling is
a desperate act, and everybody knows that USC probably looks
kind of desperate doing it. Dating back to the dawna
college football, the Trojans had a reputation for bravely scheduling
that ended when Pete Carroll's tenure crumbled with the NCAA sanctions,
(33:46):
soft scheduling, and a desperation rarely ends well. I will
revisit this story throughout the season as it develops. I
saw Georgia Southern last week on FS one. Fresno beat
him bad in the second half by pounding the run,
and instead of flying home to Statesborough Clayton Clay Helton
took the Eagles to Oxnard for the week. Nardcore, the
(34:11):
USC is going to kick the Eagles ass this week.
They'll cover the twenty eight and a half fifty four
to seventeen sounds right. Clay Helton and his team will
not go back to Oxnard after the game, but back
to Statesborough and good luck in the Sunbelta. Ucla z
zero to one at UNLV two and o five o'clock
(34:33):
CBS Sports Net. The Bruins are favored by two and
a half. Over the years, I'm sure I refer to
UCLA football as hitting rock bottom, but now with this coach,
with this athletic department, with the Big ten schedule, it
feels like twenty twenty five will be rock bottom for
UCLA football in my lifetime unless they can rally around
(34:55):
Nico Iamalaiaba and figure something out, but Nico's been overshadowed
by Sean Foster restricting the media from access to the players.
Getting publicity for the players and local media news outlets
is a way to generate interest in the program locally
and nationally. So either this week, Ben Boltch or the
La Times earlier this week dug up the official state
(35:18):
school records of UCLA football attendance. We are all over
it and you can listen to it in the before
the Show podcast. Let's just say, if you want to
know what those numbers are like, they are disturbing And
do you think Ben Boltch would dig that up if
Deshan Foster gave him the time of day much? No,
he would not. We can only imagine what he's going
(35:43):
to find out with his next public information requests. Maybe
we should get Martin Jarmondon if they're not circling the wagons.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Or bolt should get Pablo Tori on the case really
dig up some stuff.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, I've never even heard of that podcast. Oh thanks
Steve rock Bottom or not, I can honestly say I've
never seen this level of apathy around UCLA football. I'm
taking U and LV tomorrow plus the two and a
half guessing they'll probably be around twelve thousand fans at
least at allegi at Stadium in Las Vegas, maybe twenty.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
I disagree Pee in the sense that this is so
typical of UCLA will bounce back and win this one,
but then they'll lose three in a row after it.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah, UNLV is on the come, but they gave up
a lot of points in their opening game to Iowa State,
so I understand. But they are well coached. Dan Mullen
knows what he's doing. Yeah, And they're bigger and stronger
and faster than they were last year, and they were
good last year. So we'll see. And that is the
very first college football whip. And enjoy the games, everybody.
(36:48):
I'm off this week and I'll be back at it
at Utah State next week. And Logan logan, so thank
you for listening. Future member of the PAC twelve. Yeah,
I can't wait. It's only twenty five thirty five minute
drive forty five fifty five. David Vessi is going to
join us next. Tell us what's going on with o
Taani and Glass? Now, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Hello, PMS listener, did you know AM five seventy la
Sports has a wide range of LA Sports podcasts.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
There's Rogan and Rodney.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
That one is my favorite, Dodger Talk with David Vassi,
the Dodger Podcast of record, Clipper Talk Without a Musk,
follow us all and many more. Just go to AM
five to seventy LA Sports on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Happy Frogman Friday, Everybody, Dodgers in Baltimore, Tonight, Chargers in
Brazil on KFI at five, Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck
is going to start at three, and there are developments
and here to discuss it with Don and I as
David Vasse.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
The home of the Dodgers Talk.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vass Report with David Vasse, our.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Dodger reporters, Spectrum Sportsnet and MLBtv, brought to you by
Service Titan dot Com. It is David Vase, Dave, Why
the scratch for glass?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Now?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Why does Otani have to do it? What's going on
out there?
Speaker 9 (38:20):
Jeez, Petros, we got breaking Dodgers news. While you're going
on and on about San Jose Date. I hope this
resonates more with your listeners in.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
La Hey, arch Mannaise taking on Jo Dave College Football
with to we listen to that.
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Hey, we got bigger news here, Petros, we got all right?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Sorry went late. I'm sorry it went late. Go ahead,
please tell us what happened.
Speaker 9 (38:49):
Hut Tyler Glass now a late scratch from what I
was told the Dodgers told. Here is something to debunk
that show. Hey, Otani is not a tea player. Shoe
O'tani has done everything the Dodgers have asked, from him
leading off, hitting second for Mookie Betts, back to leading off.
Well today again shoe a Otani, proving that he's a
(39:12):
team player, was asked at two forty five Eastern Times
if he could start in place of Glass now, and
he said, give me that damn ball, and he's going
to be on the mount tonight. Glass now with backstiffness,
cannot make the start in Baltimore tonight.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Wow. So how long is Otani going to pitch for?
Is it going to be a shorter outing or a
longer outing? Did they give any indication?
Speaker 9 (39:37):
And just channel Dick to Brigg Jacob. He is a
samurai warrior. I could see him going five if that's
what they need.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
This this has got to be pretty disappointing on the
Glass now front.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Dave.
Speaker 9 (39:53):
I mean, it's just another another one in a long
list petros. And that's why it's really hard to trust
Tyler Glass now, trust that he could stay healthy, trust
that he could be there for the team when they
need him the most. And he is great when he's
on the mound. The biggest challenge is getting him on
(40:14):
the mound.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
I didn't realize Otani was a big nineteen nineties college
basketball fan because he stole my line at the under
four time out at the McHale Center meet to coach Eric,
give me the damn ball.
Speaker 9 (40:26):
Yeah, that's right, coach, like a big Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Dave I said this earlier in the show.
Speaker 9 (40:34):
Hey, Don, was that like a way to bring up
a humble brag of how.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You know what you don't see that you're not why
we went late on check the boxer, check the box score,
Dave that game.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Anyways, Dave I brought it up earlier, and because I'm
not here every day, I think about these things. I've
obviously watched the Dodgers a lot, and it's fair to say,
based on what the expectations were coming into the season,
like everybody out they were going to like not even
lose one game, and here we are they're not. They're
probably gonna win the division, but not gonna be or
are going to be in the wild card. So is
(41:08):
it fair to say that two things? There could be
some complacency from a World Series hangover. Could it be
we're just gonna turn it on and flip the switch
when the playoffs come, because it just seems like, I mean,
you get swept by the pirates of all people, it
just seems like the will and the determination really aren't
(41:29):
there right now.
Speaker 9 (41:32):
Well, it's not complacency because every day, four hours before
every game, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Miguel rojaf Max monthly
when he's healthy, Tommy Eman, the best of the best
on the roster are out there every day getting ready
for that next game. If I saw complacency, I would
see those guys not out there going back to last
(41:56):
year's spring training every single day. So I don't believe
it's complacency. But there is a lack of urgency, and
I don't believe it's too much to say that at times,
this Dodger team has gotten bored with the regular season
and it happened with the Yankees, Jeter, Bernie Williams, Pasada
(42:17):
when they were onto their second and third World Series championships.
They were the same concerns going into the postseason that
Dodger fans have this year. But they somehow understood how
to navigate one hundred and sixty two games. You put
the Red Sox in front of them. Back then, the Indians,
you know, really good teams. They would show up and
(42:38):
bring their a game. But the Pirates are not going anywhere.
Those three games were their World Series for the Dodgers.
They were three games in Pittsburgh. And look, have the
Dodgers played good baseball since the beginning of July?
Speaker 2 (42:53):
They have not.
Speaker 9 (42:54):
Has it been ugly? Yes it has at times. But
am I concerned about veterans that understand how to win?
Speaker 4 (43:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (43:02):
I'm not real quick, Dave, even though I've been told
to let you go.
Speaker 9 (43:07):
Real quick because San Jose Staid took my shine.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Dave, I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. Okay.
Maggie Jas called a team meeting.
Speaker 9 (43:21):
It was basically he did after last night's game. He
basically said the team needs to come together as a group,
not as hitters, not as pitchers, but as a group,
and that hasn't happened yet, So that sounds like he
wants a team meeting, not just with hitters, not just
with pitchers. But is Miguel Rojas that's really gonna call
(43:41):
a team meeting. I'm not sure he's that guy. They
need one of their stars, one of their real players
to do it, and I'm not sure that's in their DNA.
But Miguel Rojas said publicly they needed a team meeting.
You would think they would have meetings on their personal plane,
I mean players only plane, and they're three games under
five hundred on the road this year. But hopefully they
(44:04):
get together as a group because it is important not
to be offense and defense something you can relate to Petros,
but come together as twenty six.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
How about these spartans. Good luck to them tomorrow huh
against Texas.
Speaker 9 (44:18):
Hey, I'm prepared for that game now nine.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Am on CBS.
Speaker 9 (44:23):
Guys, Hey, don I got some advice for you too
before I go. What don't be in the same photo
with Ben halland you're above that.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
WHOA wow, we had a nice conversation.
Speaker 9 (44:39):
Oh I'm sure that scal still hasn't left his face.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
Yeah, I know you're not a fan.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
Dave is will Smith coming back on Monday.
Speaker 9 (44:47):
Dave to be determined. Petros, maybe we'll get through that
after the college whip around retail.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Oh, do you know what?
Speaker 4 (44:57):
Look forward to that on Monday. Word number sung man Wow.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (45:02):
We'll talk about it after
Speaker 2 (45:07):
A bunch of savages in this town.
How's the stream stream commencing broadcasting on AM five to
seventy LA Sports and streaming on the iHeartRadio while it's
the longest running afternoon sports show in the city.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
No congratulations necessary.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
All traces of Fred Rogan have been removed. This is
petros In Money, Thank You, Thank You, hosted by Petros
Papadakas terrible person, He's the worst.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
And Matt money Smith.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
The pipes, the pipes, the pipe.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Don't miss an episode.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
We're with you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, follow the petros In Money Show wherever you get
your podcasts now Here's Petros Papadaecus and Matt money Smith.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Stop acting small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
What everybody? What's cragging? And welcome back to the Petros
and Money Show in the world of great sports talk.
Welcome back from Wednesday. We did not do a show
yesterday because Rogan and Rodney did what I believe to
(01:03):
be a very successful event at the BJ's Restaurant in
brew House at the Market for Place in Irvine. And
we'll let you know when we're going to get out
to BJ's because that is a fall extravaganza that The
Petrosen Money Show is involved in Matt money Smith is
alive and well, and we will do Proof of Life
(01:27):
live from Brazil before the Chargers and the Chiefs kickoff
at five o'clock on KFI AM six forty. That's Daniel Jeremiah,
Matt money Smith, and Shannon Farren on that call, so
we will talk to Matt. The other big bit of
news that we'll get to in a moment is that
Tyler Glassnow has been scratched from his start tonight and
(01:49):
Shoeo Tani is going to pitch. Probably pretty exciting for
the people in Baltimore. That's why we're on so early
on this Flex Alert. We're gonna be on for two hours,
and we did do a before the show podcast two
(02:10):
of that's right down. There'll be two of those. But first,
you know, as the Dodgers have lost three straight, feels
like five, feels like ten, feels like a thousand. To
get swept by the Buccos and the Orioles just played
the San Diego Padres tough out there in Baltimore. I
think we have to remain hopeful.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I hope music at noon, Hopeful music at noon.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I know you're a man with a busy schedule, Dawn,
I not this time of year. I don't know if
you notice the Dodgers struggling last night, but.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I've noticed some struggling the last three nights against one
of the worst teams in the.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
League, Blake Snell's most disappointing start since he returned from
the IL shut down by Paul Schemes, anemic consado bats
very hard to be hopeful in a time like this.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Again, I know they've had injuries. I know there's been
guys in and out of the lineups, guys still out
of the lineup. But you just wonder when watching this
team because before the season started everybody thought they were
going one to sixty two and oh based on who
they added. I remember, yeah, right, And so now you
just you start, at least me, I start to wonder,
is there a little bit of complacency having won the
(03:31):
championship last year, or is it we'll just turn it
on when the playoffs come, because that's a dangerous game
to play.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It is a very interesting concept that perhaps maybe this
team has lost its grit with a couple of pitchers
tapping out on this road trip. Otani first and now
he's back, and then Tyler Glass now tapping out no
reason given tonight, but we will talk to David Vasse
this very hour and discuss it. We'll also have a
(04:01):
college football whip around. I wasn't on last week for
Week one, which I'm sorry about. I was in East
Lansing calling a football game and we weren't gonna be
able to do both. So this is the first whip
of the year. It is nice. It is the very
first college football win here of the right, very exciting.
And then we will have the word on the street
(04:23):
is Matt money Smith. I don't know if Tim, do
you have details on this Matt. Matt has been in
contact with you from a burner phone or from a
favella or something like that. But Matt money Smith is
apparently going to be joining us in hour two of
this two hour show.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I have text with Matt. I don't know if it's
a burner phone or not. It could be, but he
is scheduled to talk to you guys next hour.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
He gave me the old that.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I don't know if I can call you, brother, you
may have to call me, so we'll see.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Is it an encrypted phone, Tim, it's.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Still his phone, but I guess sometimes it's not going
through sometimes it is going through Texas.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Time difference in Brazil four hours. Wait, what time's the
game kicking.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Tonight at nine o'clock local time? Is yeah, So we're
all over that. And if you want to listen to
that instead of listening to the Dodgers lose, you're welcome
to do it. On AM six forty KFI, It's a
Frogman Friday. You are not a drop of the ocean
(05:30):
prog you are the entire ocean progaman drop frog Man
on a Frogman Friday. The That's Money Show celebrates the
Pacific Ocean and I guess the Atlantic that Matt's served.
Those waves so fun the waves there is so much fun,
bed gorgeous. I don't want to come home. We also
(05:54):
celebrate lifeguards, coast guards, people that protect us from the
anger of the sea. Chief was cautious. And we celebrate
the one and only Mike Nelson, a character played by
the great Lloyd Bridges, one of the greatest television shows
ever produced right off the coast of ranch of Palas Verdes, California.
I'm talking about Mike Nelson in SEAHARNT.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Sharks are good for one thing, an argument. Some people
say that they won't attack you unless you attack them
or interrupt them at feeding time. How they say a
shark w charge the minute he sees you that you're
what he wants to feed on.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I'm somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
I'm a scuba diver, Mike Nelson, and I've run into
my share of sharks. They haven't attacked me yet, but
there's always the first time, and today out here in
the warm Pacific might be it. I was looking for sharks.
One shark anyway from marine land at the Pacific.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, Todd Lights thirteen to five. What are you nuts?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
We still got to take that? Lord man, you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Know what that's like. These You got the Navy everywhere,
you got frog men, you got the e C two's
with the satellite tracking, you got the spell two, nine
of salt choppers up the ass. We're losing one out
of every nine loads.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That's no duck walk anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Let me tell you, forget about money.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
What do you suggest that's reasonable?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Diet a room.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Dire.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I've lost three. It's a horrible, horrible lie, very very
imprison you not want to get in September.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Come Relacense City.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
How far back in the wildcard are they.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
They're up in the wildcard, they're up in the division,
but they're gonna have to play in the wildcard round
and it looks like they're not going to be able
to avoid that. To introduce our guest co host today
on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity Microphone is the
one and only. Well, I guess I'm the one the
(08:47):
introduce you.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
You are the one and only.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It is the great Don McLean the Baron of Box Canyon,
the leading scorer in the history of UCLA and decorated,
a decade long NBA player, A man that can hold
it down whether he's working for c AA, the Big
(09:15):
ten network, FS one. The next as he kisses will
be the first we've done it before the show podcast,
And here he is, Don McLain.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
A couple things straight out of the gate pee. I
think Tim thinks I have some slight elbow ten tonight
is he grabbed the thing that hits the gong. It
didn't even say anything, oh really, just came in, took
it and hit the gong.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
To bother you do, I believe the official bother that
is the gong bonger. I think I think Don likes
to hit the gong. I like to hit the gong.
I'm not here every day, so when I'm here, I
like to hit the gong. Second thing is I was
thinking about words I don't use, and we've been kind
of teasing mad about what he said on that video
and gorgeo being a word I don't ever. I don't
think I've ever used it seriously in my life. And
(10:04):
I wanted to ask you, this doesn't really pertain to you,
Tim because you have girls, but Pe, you have a boy.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Ronnie. So one of my kids kept saying this word,
and who am I? This is just me right, But
he kept using the word comfy, Oh, comfy. Yeah, And
I know these young kids have all this lingo and
there's reasons for it, but comfy's different. That's just a
word he started using. And finally after I don't know how,
(10:30):
I don't know how much time had gone by, but
finally one day I'm like, enough with the comfy. It's
either comfortable or use a different word.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Can you use it in context like your son did.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
These shoes are comfy. Don't use it comfy.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Why was it because of a girlfriend, no.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Just he that that was part of his vernacular. He
just kept using comfy. Oh, this blanket's comfy.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
This is I don't like it when men use yummy,
that too exactly. That that one kind of bugs me. Yeah, no,
I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah, comfy, come on, let's go.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Gorgeous. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I don't use that word.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I'm not sure if I've used it. I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
You never called your wife gorgeous. You look gorgeous. You
look pretty, okay, lovely, lovely? Not you, Oh you're gorgeous.
My wife would probably smacked me if I what have
you followed it up with all those shoes look comfy?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, before we get into what we want to ask
don about here and before the college whip, and before
we talk to Dave and we got a lot to
fit in here today and we did it before the
show podcast. Everybody's lucky. But I do want to know
why is glass now scratched? Kates? You work on Morongo Casino,
Dodgers on Deck of course, and why is a Tony
(11:43):
pitching today? Do we have any more insight into that?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Before we talk to Guess, before you say tim, okay, right,
elbow tightness. Well, thank goodness that it's not the reason.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I don't know if Tyler's.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
A death sentence.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Not tightness, I mean not.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
As far as I understand, this could be Tyler being
a little under the weather because there's a flu going
around the Dodger clubhouse. Otani was gonna pitch on Monday,
this coming Monday at Dodger Stadium after he was supposed
to pitch Wednesday in Pittsburgh. So maybe they asked Otwanni
to pitch today because Tyler could not go. That's that's
(12:22):
what I think at this point. Dave's gonna be all
with you guys later in the hour. He's talking to
people right now and getting the latest so he will
have better information.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So Otani's rescuing the Dodgers here. That's how I look
as opposed to like being like, hey, I'm like Dirk Diggler,
like it's my big member and I want to go
right now, right like you know what I mean. It's
not like that.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Yeah, it sounds like he is coming into save the
day so to speak.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Right, which is really commendable because he was not able
to save the day the other day. And she and
had to wear it on his boobs.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Yeah, but he has been producing offensively. Show Hey, Otani
hit off ball that was one hundred and twenty miles
an hour of the bad. He's the only guy in
Pittsburgh that really did anything over those three days offensively
to help this team. So I know he's been under
the weather. So he did do his part at the
plate the last three days in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
So we will have more details as the day develops
as to what happened.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Dave's doing his job. Yeah, yeah, he better better do
his job.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It's my arm, and I want to go right now
with them, Tommy, it's my big arm, all right, don
Before we go any further, did you watch the We
talked about this because the story broke two days ago,
and now Steve Bomber in a very almost sho hao
tany like FBI investigation. Nothing to see here, everything's cool.
We did an investigation. It's all wrapped up. It's all epay,
(13:45):
nothing to see here. We're moving on. Not that this
is that similar, but that quick of a reaction from
Steve Balmer running over to espen and Ramona Shelburne to.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Me, doesn't that make it look like there's something there
that that's that was my first thought. And Steve Balmer's
been great for the Clippers, he's been great for the
city La all that. But to me, if I knew
I did nothing wrong, I would have just said, we
did nothing wrong. The NBA will investigate, and nothing's happening here.
But you make yourself look kind of guilty by running
(14:18):
over emergency press conference with Shelburne to explain yourself. Like,
to me, that was a mistake. And I'm no pr guy,
far from it, But I just feel like if there
was nothing there, they would have said, hey, there's nothing there,
let's let the NBA investigate and we'll be nothing to
see and it it'll be not like.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's easy to get Steve Balmer to do it anything.
It's like that he wrote, it's a doth protest too
much Shakespearean type of thing. Well, here's Ramona just asking
him straight up if Kawhi Leonard and his uncle, who
is quite infamous, have asked for extra money.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
Since twenty nineteen, has Dennis Robinson asked you for any
other benefits that would not be that would be in
violation of the league rules.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
They know the rules. They meaning Kawhi and his representatives,
including his uncle. We know the rules, and if anything's
not clear, we remind ourselves what the rules are, and
we make absolutely clear we're going to abide by those rules.
And they understand them as well, and it's important for
them to abide by them, which they have.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
It's almost like he's putting it back on them.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I can't, okay, but if they broke the rules, you
broke the rules.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
When he's asked about court documents and getting millions paid
to Kawhi, and I think this is the most This
is the SoundBite that's going around. Apparently the richest owner
in all the sports was defrauded. He was made a
fool of.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I don't know anything about the court documents on this,
don't I haven't seen him, and I don't know. I'm
not trying to be who. I don't know. I really
don't know. But the speculation is what it is, and
why did they do that.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
It's a lot of money, I mean, twenty eight million,
seven million a years, A lot of money for a
guy that you didn't actually require to do anything.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
I don't know why they did what they did, and
I don't know how different it is. I really, I
really don't. And frankly, any speculation would be crazy. These
are guys who committed fraud. How would I be able?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Look, they conned me. Care one called me.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
I made an investment in these guys, thinking it was
on the up and up, and they conned me.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
At this stage, I have no.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Ability to predict why they might have done anything they did.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Okay, you may have not seen the court documents, but
your lawyers have. There's no way you have it. Like
ten minutes after the story broke, somebody was looking at
the court document.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Had to have been what's he saying? He's saying I
have nothing to do with this. I mean, Kawhi's name
is on there. What's he What's what's the what's the
end game? I mean, I realize that ESPN interviewing an
NBA owner is a lot like ESPN interviewing the SEC commissioner,
or Fox interviewing the Big Ten commissioner, or ESPN talking
(17:13):
about what the playoff committee might do when they really
are one of the same entity. I get that part
of it, but it's not like Ramona wasn't following up there.
I just I don't I'm not smart enough to understand
what's he saying. I mean, he's saying, I'm.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Saying that this company acted on its own and gave
Kawhi this endorsement deal and he had nothing to do
with it. But yet he invested in the company. So
that's the correlation.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Do you think anybody's gonna buy that?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I don't know enough about it to really say, but
I just know what I've read and heard, and he's
trying to paint the picture that he invested in the company,
not knowing what they were going to do with his
money that he invested. They gave Kawhi an endorsement deal
that was four ten times the collective amount of all
the other endorsers, but yet they defrauded Steve Balmer somehow.
(18:08):
So I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So, Yeah, that doesn't seem like it would be a
really great idea for him to go run into an interview.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I don't think so either. I think he should just said,
let the NBA investigate it. We did nothing wrong, stop
asking me questions.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Very very interesting situation, unfolding and kind of sad and
humiliating for everybody involved. Even if what Balmber is saying is.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
True because again Pee and again, look, he has been finned.
The minute he took over the Clippers was the minute
they became relevant.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
The minute is a blueprint for NBA ownership as far
as the arena and all that goes, all.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
That, and so it would be unfortunate. And I don't know.
We've talked about this on Wednesday. I don't know what
a penalty was if if and it's a big if,
if they're found guilty of this or whatever it is,
I'm not sure. And people have asked me, what do
you think the penalty is going to be. I have
no idea because they don't have a lot of draft picks.
You could take those, but they don't really have any
(19:08):
unless you go way out in the horizon. But what
do you do? Do you suspend Balmer as the owner?
Do you suspend Kawhi?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
I don't know what you do in this situation if
they're found guilty of this stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It is a miraculously odd twist to what has always
been an up and down Clipper franchise and a franchise
that carries a lot of stigma.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
And the bummer is p and I said this on
Wednesday as well, this of all years, because they are
positioned to be one of the contenders in the NBA
and so to have this hanging over them, We'll see
for how long does it affect their season and does
if they are found guilty of anything, how does it
impact their season too.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I think it's really interesting the way you put it.
So apparently Steve Bamer gave these guys a whole bunch
of money to invest because they were planting trees or whatever.
They separately gave Kawhi Leonard a buttload of money, more
money than they gave anybody else.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Big names by the way, DiCaprio, Cindy Crawford, like, those
names are way bigger than Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
And then they've been federally called out, They've filed for bankruptcy,
and they are being indicted for fraud. And that's why
this all came out. And we're supposed to believe that
there's no connection between Bomber's money and Kawhi's money and
this company. Yes, okay, I mean he would be pretty
(20:39):
stupid to allow a shell company to file for bankruptcy, right,
you would think.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Yes, Tim Basketball, out of all the equation here business only.
This kind of makes him look like a bad business guy, right,
I mean, fifty million dollars you didn't really know what
you were doing with You thought you were gonna give
it to this company and they were going to do
something and you had defrauded out of it. It's not
a great look for a guy who's supposed to be
the wealthiest man in the world.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah. I don't know if the interview is going to
make it go away.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well. We'll be right back with a college football whip
around first one of the year, and then David Massey
with the information about glass Now and Otani and just
what the heck is going on with the Dodgers. Stay
with us on a frog Man Friday.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on

You know what, don at my sister's yoga studio when
I take her class and she goes like, does anybody
have to go pp The other day, I finally was
like stop it stop, and we had an exchange, you know,
like the comfy thing. You know what I'm saying, don
(22:11):
got I'm sorry. That's all right, welcome back everybody.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
No, no, it's okay. That's how That's how my life
usually is. It's a Pictures in Money show on ampire
seventy l A Sports. We are your home of the Dodgers.
Dodgers taking on Baltimore. Ohtani's getta pitch for glass now?
Glass now is not? I don't know. We're gonna talk
to David Vasse about it. Is there any all the
(22:37):
are any of the people out there saying what it is? Yet? Nothing?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Nothing yet? But Dave will know, he'll know next segment,
he will know Chargers versus Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Tonight. Matt's in Brazil. We should be able to talk
to Kashasa Matt in the five of the games at five.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
He's not on Mars. He's just in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I mean, well, yeah, but it feels I mean it
feels pretty Have you ever been to Brazil down?
Speaker 9 (23:02):
I have not?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You sure?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I am sure, I'd like to go. I don't well
maybe I don't. I don't exactly. It's a long flight
down it is. Yeah, it's like twelve and a half hours.
What south hoowlo, Brazil?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Why are you so shocked?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I didn't realize it was that far. I just discovered
this three days ago.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
You guys don't know how the globe works.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Oh, so you knew it was twelve hours. I knew
it was far as hell. Yes, Okay, I guess we're idiots. Done.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
We just you know, well, you got to go south
and then further east than than New York.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, but Blake flew to Thailand. It was fourteen hours.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, because we're already here on the West coast. Time
of the college football went. What an exciting first full
week of college football. Agree to disagree about the football,
No about the flight copy the three biggest storyline. We're
all bottomed out by week one. Arch Manning did not
(24:04):
live up to all the hype and perform. He performed
better in the TV commercials than he did against Ohio State.
The new quarterback for UCLA, nico Ia Malayama, transferred in
from Tennessee Leiden AG against Utah. He'll need better support
from his head coach to Sean Foster moving forward and
from the university as a whole and the third college
(24:27):
football storyline of week one was Bill Belichick doing a
face plant in his first game at North Carolina. But well,
all right, but there was no positives. No, that's what
I'm saying. Despite those three stinkers, it was great to
have a full slate of games to enjoy. My only
regret was because I was traveling with a Michigan State
(24:47):
game and Red Eyes and all that, I missed two
radio shows and we did not do a college football
whip around for sure. But the whip is back for
REO and we'll be picking six or seven games each Friday.
We always try to he praise on the winners and
shred the losers. So without further ado, it is the
twenty twenty five College Football Web Flaw San Jose oh
(25:11):
and one at Texas OH and one nine ABC Long
Horns favored by thirty six and a half. Get ready
for Horns coach Steve Sarkisian out of West Torrans to
make sure Arch Manning gets his stats up in this game.
Arch's underwhelming performance in Columbus is as much on sark
(25:31):
as it was on Arch. He's the one that's supposed
to be an offensive genius. The most perplexing part of
Arch's poor performance last week that he's not a true freshman.
He's a thirty year player who's got two starts under
his belt. Plus he's been through three spring balls and
three fall camps with the same head coach. Now, San
Jose lost its opener in heartbreaking fashion, sixteen to fourteen
(25:55):
to Central Michigan, a crushing defeat for the Spartans, who
missed two winning field goal attempts in the final three minutes.
Coach Ken Neo Mattalulo is in season two in the
Hoe and unfortunately he's going to start zero and two.
I'm picking Texas fifty eight to seven, cover the thirty
six and a half, hook him black black Iowa one
(26:20):
to er at Iowa State number sixteen two and zero
nine Am. This is Big Noon SI Clones are favored
by three and a half. It's the seventy second sy Hawk.
This game will be played in Ames and the Clones
have a great shot in the Big twelve this season.
Most Petros and Money Show listeners know how much I
(26:42):
like and respect the Clones. Head coach Matt Campbell. I
can't believe he's been there ten years at Iowa State.
I also can't believe a bigger school like sc or
UCLA hasn't swooped him up yet. The Iowa offense will
be ground and pound again. That won't change until kirk
Parents eventually leaves. I love the Iowa State quarterback rock
(27:04):
O becked, I'm not going to pick this one against
the spread with all the running by both teams. My
pick is in this game that it will end in
three hours and fifteen minutes or less. What they got
to get all their commercials in Oklahoma State one to
(27:24):
oh at number six Oregon one and OH twelve thirty CBS,
Ducks favored by twenty eight and a half. Remember we
were talking about the beefing back and forth between the coaches,
Gundhy and Landing. Yeah, Gundy claim organ spent forty million
dollars on its roster and the Ducks should schedule non
conference games against similarly budgeted programs. Landing did not deny it.
(27:45):
He said he was fortunate to be at a school
that spends to win. I don't think this is typical
Gundy sandbagging. I think he's being serious. So I'm going
to go big here with Oregon. I got the Ducks
minus twenty eight and a half half points in aust.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Yeah, Landing's good with that bulletin board stuff too. It
feels like it is.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
And you know, even Jedfish said that last year. I mean,
Washington and Oregon are the two biggest rivals of each other.
And I know the Apple Cup in the Civil War.
But you know the truths like I do. And Jed
Fish said that last year, like, oh, well, there's a
twenty million dollars football team. It's like, dude, that's your rival.
You can't say that seriously, play the game. Everybody knows
(28:30):
who has money and who does it. I got the
Ducks minus the twenty eight and a half. If I
didn't say that, flow both these teams got money done.
Number fifteen Michigan. Want to know at number eighteen Oklahoma
one and oh oh yeah, Sooner's favored by four and
a half. We've got great quarterback storylines in this game,
(28:52):
Michigan freshman Bryce underw This is the Tim Kates Compass
Media Game.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Two halftime is going to be awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Oh come on. Bryce Underwood is a Detroit kid who
was committed to LSU before ten million dollar nil package
kept him in state. He already has an NFL body
six four two twenty five, gets a lot of comparisons
in game to Cam Newton. You can see him in
person at the Coliseum on October eleventh when Big Blue
(29:21):
comes to LA. In the opener versus New Mexico, Underwood
hit twenty one of thirty one passes for two hundred
and fifty yards. He did not flash his legs against
the Lobos. Underwood running is probably something we can expect
to Norman tomorrow, and it appears that the Sooners might
(29:42):
be back on track in the offseason. Oklahoma head coach
Brent Vennables poached offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle from Washington State,
and Arbuckle brought his quarterback John Matteer the Engineer with him.
I've specifically asked Tim Kates to call John Matteer the
Engineer on the pre half.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Ye is that your nickname form? Or do they really
call him that?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's I've used it, I've heard it called from some
other people. I did not make it up, and Kate's
is being very reluctant to use it in a bod
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Awesome, I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Mattier has a real physical presence. Plus he wears that
little engineering hat. He's a pure dual threat dude who
breaks tackles and he'll deliver the contact of the defender
sometimes kind of ill advised. Last week's opener against Illinois State,
he threw for three hundred and ninety seven yards against
the Redbirds three touchdowns, ran for a touchdown. The Michigan
(30:39):
d will present a stiffer challenge from a teer. This
one's at the Palace on the Prairie. Get all those
covered wagons in a circle. I see a big win
for the Sooners, twenty seven to twenty each your venables.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Wow, I've been to that stadium.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I've called a couple of games there. It's pretty cool,
right yep, Louisiana monroh want to oh Alabama? Oh one
to one, four to forty five sec network?
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Oh god No.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Last week's thirty one seventeen loss at Florida State was
a stunner for everyone in every corner of the Alabama
football sphere. The players, the students, the fans, the media.
They're all on tilt half the barns across the state.
We're hosting emergency podcasts less than thirty minutes after the game.
Kaylin de Bor is on the hottest seat in sports
(31:30):
right now. Last year's nine to four record was unacceptable.
Getting run out of Tallahassee by a team coming off
of two and ten season win or lose week to week.
The pressure is on him, doesn't mean he's a bad coach.
Damn near impossible to take over for Nick Saban.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Want to know how I know he's on the hottest
of hot seats. One of my good friends is a big,
big booster of the football program. He's not even going
to the games this year.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh wow, there's a weird twist. Versus Monroe. Back in seven,
was navigating his first year in Alabama. They were eight
and two, and before the Iron Bowl finale against Auburn,
there was a mid November cupcake on the schedule, the
Louisiana Monroe Warhawks, and they handed Alabama and embarrassing twenty
one to fourteen loss at home. No one saw that coming.
(32:19):
Saban was able to get value over the next fifteen
years by using that loss to keep his future teams
in check and keep him motivated. Now, for Debor's sake,
Alabama needs to win this game going away. We'll take
the Tide to easily cover the thirty six and a half.
And for Kaylin de Boris some advice, maybe let one
of the team managers start your car before you leave
(32:39):
the office. I thought, all right. Locally, Georgia Southern zh
to one. I saw their game against Presno at Southern
CAL four thirty FS one. Someone needs to tell Lincoln
Riley and the Trojans that the team they beat from
Missouri last week was not the Kansas City Chiefs. Wasn't
(33:02):
even the Missouri Tigers from the SEC. Last week's opponent
was the Missouri State Bears, not the Chicago Bears. The
USC was quick this week to point out how well
their stats lined up with other teams. I thought it
was a bad look. How big of a victory lap
will USC take this week if they beat Georgia Southern
(33:25):
not Georgia By the way, Georgia Southern soft scheduling is
a desperate act, and everybody knows that USC probably looks
kind of desperate doing it. Dating back to the dawna
college football, the Trojans had a reputation for bravely scheduling
that ended when Pete Carroll's tenure crumbled with the NCAA sanctions,
(33:46):
soft scheduling, and a desperation rarely ends well. I will
revisit this story throughout the season as it develops. I
saw Georgia Southern last week on FS one. Fresno beat
him bad in the second half by pounding the run,
and instead of flying home to Statesborough Clayton Clay Helton
took the Eagles to Oxnard for the week. Nardcore, the
(34:11):
USC is going to kick the Eagles ass this week.
They'll cover the twenty eight and a half fifty four
to seventeen sounds right. Clay Helton and his team will
not go back to Oxnard after the game, but back
to Statesborough and good luck in the Sunbelta. Ucla z
zero to one at UNLV two and o five o'clock
(34:33):
CBS Sports Net. The Bruins are favored by two and
a half. Over the years, I'm sure I refer to
UCLA football as hitting rock bottom, but now with this coach,
with this athletic department, with the Big ten schedule, it
feels like twenty twenty five will be rock bottom for
UCLA football in my lifetime unless they can rally around
(34:55):
Nico Iamalaiaba and figure something out, but Nico's been overshadowed
by Sean Foster restricting the media from access to the players.
Getting publicity for the players and local media news outlets
is a way to generate interest in the program locally
and nationally. So either this week, Ben Boltch or the
La Times earlier this week dug up the official state
(35:18):
school records of UCLA football attendance. We are all over
it and you can listen to it in the before
the Show podcast. Let's just say, if you want to
know what those numbers are like, they are disturbing And
do you think Ben Boltch would dig that up if
Deshan Foster gave him the time of day much? No,
he would not. We can only imagine what he's going
(35:43):
to find out with his next public information requests. Maybe
we should get Martin Jarmondon if they're not circling the wagons.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Or bolt should get Pablo Tori on the case really
dig up some stuff.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, I've never even heard of that podcast. Oh thanks
Steve rock Bottom or not, I can honestly say I've
never seen this level of apathy around UCLA football. I'm
taking U and LV tomorrow plus the two and a
half guessing they'll probably be around twelve thousand fans at
least at allegi at Stadium in Las Vegas, maybe twenty.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
I disagree Pee in the sense that this is so
typical of UCLA will bounce back and win this one,
but then they'll lose three in a row after it.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah, UNLV is on the come, but they gave up
a lot of points in their opening game to Iowa State,
so I understand. But they are well coached. Dan Mullen
knows what he's doing. Yeah, And they're bigger and stronger
and faster than they were last year, and they were
good last year. So we'll see. And that is the
very first college football whip. And enjoy the games, everybody.
(36:48):
I'm off this week and I'll be back at it
at Utah State next week. And Logan logan, so thank
you for listening. Future member of the PAC twelve. Yeah,
I can't wait. It's only twenty five thirty five minute
drive forty five fifty five. David Vessi is going to
join us next. Tell us what's going on with o
Taani and Glass? Now, thanks for listening.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vass Report with David Vasse, our.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Dodger reporters, Spectrum Sportsnet and MLBtv, brought to you by
Service Titan dot Com. It is David Vase, Dave, Why
the scratch for glass?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Now?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Why does Otani have to do it? What's going on
out there?
Speaker 9 (38:20):
Jeez, Petros, we got breaking Dodgers news. While you're going
on and on about San Jose Date. I hope this
resonates more with your listeners in.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
La Hey, arch Mannaise taking on Jo Dave College Football
with to we listen to that.
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Hey, we got bigger news here, Petros, we got all right?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Sorry went late. I'm sorry it went late. Go ahead,
please tell us what happened.
Speaker 9 (38:49):
Hut Tyler Glass now a late scratch from what I
was told the Dodgers told. Here is something to debunk
that show. Hey, Otani is not a tea player. Shoe
O'tani has done everything the Dodgers have asked, from him
leading off, hitting second for Mookie Betts, back to leading off.
Well today again shoe a Otani, proving that he's a
(39:12):
team player, was asked at two forty five Eastern Times
if he could start in place of Glass now, and
he said, give me that damn ball, and he's going
to be on the mount tonight. Glass now with backstiffness,
cannot make the start in Baltimore tonight.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Wow. So how long is Otani going to pitch for?
Is it going to be a shorter outing or a
longer outing? Did they give any indication?
Speaker 9 (39:37):
And just channel Dick to Brigg Jacob. He is a
samurai warrior. I could see him going five if that's
what they need.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
This this has got to be pretty disappointing on the
Glass now front.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Dave.
Speaker 9 (39:53):
I mean, it's just another another one in a long
list petros. And that's why it's really hard to trust
Tyler Glass now, trust that he could stay healthy, trust
that he could be there for the team when they
need him the most. And he is great when he's
on the mound. The biggest challenge is getting him on
(40:14):
the mound.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
I didn't realize Otani was a big nineteen nineties college
basketball fan because he stole my line at the under
four time out at the McHale Center meet to coach Eric,
give me the damn ball.
Speaker 9 (40:26):
Yeah, that's right, coach, like a big Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Dave I said this earlier in the show.
Speaker 9 (40:34):
Hey, Don, was that like a way to bring up
a humble brag of how.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You know what you don't see that you're not why
we went late on check the boxer, check the box score,
Dave that game.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Anyways, Dave I brought it up earlier, and because I'm
not here every day, I think about these things. I've
obviously watched the Dodgers a lot, and it's fair to say,
based on what the expectations were coming into the season,
like everybody out they were going to like not even
lose one game, and here we are they're not. They're
probably gonna win the division, but not gonna be or
are going to be in the wild card. So is
(41:08):
it fair to say that two things? There could be
some complacency from a World Series hangover. Could it be
we're just gonna turn it on and flip the switch
when the playoffs come, because it just seems like, I mean,
you get swept by the pirates of all people, it
just seems like the will and the determination really aren't
(41:29):
there right now.
Speaker 9 (41:32):
Well, it's not complacency because every day, four hours before
every game, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Miguel rojaf Max monthly
when he's healthy, Tommy Eman, the best of the best
on the roster are out there every day getting ready
for that next game. If I saw complacency, I would
see those guys not out there going back to last
(41:56):
year's spring training every single day. So I don't believe
it's complacency. But there is a lack of urgency, and
I don't believe it's too much to say that at times,
this Dodger team has gotten bored with the regular season
and it happened with the Yankees, Jeter, Bernie Williams, Pasada
(42:17):
when they were onto their second and third World Series championships.
They were the same concerns going into the postseason that
Dodger fans have this year. But they somehow understood how
to navigate one hundred and sixty two games. You put
the Red Sox in front of them. Back then, the Indians,
you know, really good teams. They would show up and
(42:38):
bring their a game. But the Pirates are not going anywhere.
Those three games were their World Series for the Dodgers.
They were three games in Pittsburgh. And look, have the
Dodgers played good baseball since the beginning of July?
Speaker 2 (42:53):
They have not.
Speaker 9 (42:54):
Has it been ugly? Yes it has at times. But
am I concerned about veterans that understand how to win?
Speaker 4 (43:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (43:02):
I'm not real quick, Dave, even though I've been told
to let you go.
Speaker 9 (43:07):
Real quick because San Jose Staid took my shine.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Dave, I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. Okay.
Maggie Jas called a team meeting.
Speaker 9 (43:21):
It was basically he did after last night's game. He
basically said the team needs to come together as a group,
not as hitters, not as pitchers, but as a group,
and that hasn't happened yet, So that sounds like he
wants a team meeting, not just with hitters, not just
with pitchers. But is Miguel Rojas that's really gonna call
(43:41):
a team meeting. I'm not sure he's that guy. They
need one of their stars, one of their real players
to do it, and I'm not sure that's in their DNA.
But Miguel Rojas said publicly they needed a team meeting.
You would think they would have meetings on their personal plane,
I mean players only plane, and they're three games under
five hundred on the road this year. But hopefully they
(44:04):
get together as a group because it is important not
to be offense and defense something you can relate to Petros,
but come together as twenty six.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
How about these spartans. Good luck to them tomorrow huh
against Texas.
Speaker 9 (44:18):
Hey, I'm prepared for that game now nine.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Am on CBS.
Speaker 9 (44:23):
Guys, Hey, don I got some advice for you too
before I go. What don't be in the same photo
with Ben halland you're above that.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
WHOA wow, we had a nice conversation.
Speaker 9 (44:39):
Oh I'm sure that scal still hasn't left his face.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
Yeah, I know you're not a fan.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
Dave is will Smith coming back on Monday.
Speaker 9 (44:47):
Dave to be determined. Petros, maybe we'll get through that
after the college whip around retail.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Oh, do you know what?
Speaker 4 (44:57):
Look forward to that on Monday. Word number sung man Wow.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (45:02):
We'll talk about it after
Speaker 2 (45:07):
A bunch of savages in this town.
